“I had a fantastic experience with Laura and it was such a blessing coming across her on Rover! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional and caring. My two fur babies took to her and her family right away, which put me at ease immediately. It’s very clear that she has a genuine love for animals, and my pups were well taken care of during their stay. Her communication was excellent throughout the stay as well! She kept me updated with many photos and messages, which I really appreciated! It was reassuring to know things were going well. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a reliable, kind and caring dog sitter!”
“Derya is easy-going and Our dog Albus loved him. Derya went above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable. Albus lived the hikes at Spring Creek Park! I loved working with Derya because he was always reliable and easy to touch base with. Thanks Derya!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Crystal while she looked after my 9-month-old Snowshoe cat, Mavis, during my spring break. Right from the meet and greet, she knew her stuff. She introduced Mavis to her apartment, and her pet is around the same age, Sushi, and gave us some great tips on helping Mavis settle in. The Blink camera in the room where Mavis stayed was a nice touch, allowing Crystal to check in on her whenever she was out, which was reassuring. Plus, she ensured Mavis got plenty of playtime – she understood Mavis's playful side. I was impressed by how Crystal helped Mavis and Sushi become friends. They hit it off after a little supervised playtime, which made me feel even better about leaving Mavis with her. What genuinely set Crystal apart was her communication. She kept in touch throughout my trip, sending updates and adorable pictures of Mavis. It was so reassuring to see Mavis happy and well taken care of while I was away. In short, Crystal is fantastic at what she does. She's caring, professional, and loves animals. I'll definitely be calling on her again next time I need a cat sitter.”
“Nicole was the perfect choice! She was so kind to accommodate my last minute request, and was responsive and helpful throughout all of my pup’s stay She went above and beyond and sent pictures and updates too. Her kind and caring nature were so apparent. I know my pup received so much love and care staying with her! I highly recommend!”
“Liz and her family did an amazing job accommodating my Beagle Pitbull Mix Mollie ♥️. Sent lots of pictures and we're flexible with travel delays. I could tell she had a great time and was in safe, welcoming hands ✨♥️”
“Dannah and her dog Elphie are the best sitters! Dannah is very communicative and trustworthy. My dog is now best buddies with Elphie. She gets lots of exercise and attention when she stays with them. I always feel my dog is safe and well cared for. Dannah sends daily photos and videos of the dogs playing and cuddling together!”

“We are so glad we found Jill! She takes such wonderful care of our 14 year old dog Keisha. Although Keisha has separation anxiety, we can tell she feels very comfortable with Jill. No anxiety meds! She eats and sleeps well. Jill provides updates so that we can relax and enjoy our vacation. Thank you SO much, Jill!”
“I could not have asked for a better boarding experience for Murphy. Julie and Kevin were amazing. When we arrived, Kevin was there to greet us and took Murphy into the backyard to play, helping him get acquainted with the surroundings before meeting their dog crew. Murphy has taken a real liking to their dog, Skittles; he gets so excited whenever I mention her name. I received regular updates and pictures from Julie, which I greatly appreciated. Kevin even slept on the couch next to Murphy's crate on the first night. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Our dog Jasper had a wonderful two week stay with Stacy, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs boarding. She was always kind, courteous and professional. Most importantly, we knew that Jasper was well taken care of and received plenty of love and attention. The best part of the stay for Jasper was the large fenced yard where he could run and play with Stacy and his new dog friends. The best part of the stay for us were the daily pictures or videos of our little guy having a great time. Thank you so much, Stacy, for putting our minds at ease while we were away from Jasper!”
“Amy was great!!! We were in town for a wedding and we were able to enjoy the l wedding knowing Charlie was well cared for and loved on. I would recommend Amy to anyone who wants the best for their furry friends. If we are ever in Williamsport area again we will definitely use Amy again!”

“Second visit from Haley and she’s great. I love knowing I can rely on her with my kitties. Excellent “reports” each day and the diligence to try to get my skittish rescues to feel comfortable with her.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets reliably and consistently since I was 15, and over the years I’ve built strong experience with cats and dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my experience with senior and special needs dogs and cats—I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness they require, whether it’s administering medications, helping them move around comfortably, or simply giving them calm companionship. I’m committed to treating every pet like my own, with a balance of love, structure, and reliability that gives owners peace of mind. As a self-employed person, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day and week. I’m able to plan around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins, and I have the time to give pets consistent attention without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make safety and trust my top priorities. I carefully follow the pet’s established routine, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and make sure doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. During walks, I’m attentive to my surroundings and keep pets safe from hazards or unfamiliar animals. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, treating it with the same care I would my own. My goal is to give pets a comfortable, stress-free experience and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets and home are in responsible hands.

Perfect for high energy dogs - McElhattan
“Laura is wonderful! Her caring nature, along with her extensive knowledge and experience make her a standout. The updates she shared throughout the night confirmed Mila was in great hands and happily integrating into a new environment. I highly recommend Laura for any pup parent!”
“Highly recommend Jill and Scott's doggy daycare experience. My 7 year old Frenchie thoroughly enjoyed her stay on two different days while we were visiting Bucknell University for my daughter's graduation. Jill was flexible, warm, knowledgeable and reassuring. We had a brief meet and greet with her Doodle at drop off the first day, and Sawyer was relaxed and happy at pick up. On the second visit, Sawyer eagerly ran right inside! Thank you for making our college graduation stress-free and fun for our pup! 😊”

“Wow... Chance and my dog Grover got along super well. Grover would see Chance pull up thru the window and start barking with excitement. And great communication with Chance. He always told me when he was heading my way. I had foot surgery and was not able to get around very well. My dog Grover would not let me dry his feet off after coming in from the snow - but with Chance - Grover did not mind - Chance would get his feet clean with no issues. Chance is highly recommended by me - could not be happier. And very affordable. Thanks Chance - from Grover and myself.. A+ !! 5 Stars”
